“That pretty much made it clear I was not going to be able to do this”
Earlier I wrote about a Washington Post article that talked extensively about the persecution of gays in Lebanon, Iran, and other Muslim countries without ever mentioning the ‘M” or “I” word.
Today there’s another “elephant in the room” article. This one about child marriage which is legal in California and staying that way because of the heavyweight power of Planned Parenthood and other leftist groups.
The LA Times can’t talk about the elephant in the room or even suggest that there might be anything wrong here with its side. So it focuses the bulk of its attention on the cliched story of a woman from an evangelical family who was pressured into marrying an older man when she was 16. What does any of this have to do with why child marriage is legal in California? Absolutely nothing because guess who’s keeping it legal?
While child marriage is recognized as a human rights violation by the United Nations, there is no minimum age requirement to become married in California…
The policy comes as a surprise in liberal California, home to some of the strongest sexual violence protections in the nation. What’s more surprising is that opposition to a prohibition on marriage under 18 has not been driven by Republicans as in other states but by progressive groups including the ACLU and Planned Parenthood — both of which have sway in the majority-Democrat Legislature.
Among their concerns is that a total ban on marriage of minors could be a slippery slope and impede constitutional rights or reproductive choices, including access to abortion.
“That pretty much made it clear I was not going to be able to do this,” former Democratic state Sen. Jerry Hill, who attempted to ban underage marriage in 2017, said of the unexpected opposition from the influential groups.
Child killers need customers and child brides may just help provide them.
The LA Times keeps claiming there’s something surprising about leftist opposition to child marriage because it sets up the false construct that child marriage is some sort of conservative thing. It’s obviously not because the opposition is coming from leftist groups and (buried at the very end) an immigrant group affiliated with the Bahai movement which is a spinoff of Islam and originates from the Middle East.
Unchained at Last, the group that is at the center of the California effort and the LA Times article, profiles a number of ‘cases’ of child marriage. About half of those are Muslim.
There’s Zubaida, Syeda from Pakistan, Mariam, from a “traditional African household”, Aliya, also from Pakistan, and Saira, whose husband worked in the UAE, and Sara Tasneem, from Guyana, whose father was “a member of a religious group, tangential to Islam”.
Why are the ACLU and Planned Parenthood defending this? Why are Democrats going along with this?
It’s a mystery to the LA Times which keeps talking about Christians and Jews instead of dealing with the elephant in the room.
Islam.
Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, criticized Republican state Sen. Mike Moon of Missouri in a Tweet in April for supporting marriage as young as 12 years old. Newsom’s office did not return requests for comment about California’s policy on child marriage.
As Rep. Ilhan Omar would say, some people raped some kids.
Beto says
Indeed, PP and the ACLU are immoral organizations aided by the socialist media. Being va resident of Taxifornia, I will contact 👑 newsom about it.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
It’s amazing what islam is capable of making the entire Left – including the feminist & LGBTQIA2SMAP+ leadership do: something that the latter would have a field day not just condemning, but against which carving out strawman arguments
Just wondering – what exactly did Sen Mike Moon of MO tweet? And why is Gavin paying so much attention to him? Let him formally announce that he’s running for POTUS, or get back to mis-governing his state

islam is a load of barbaric, primitive garbage and its pedophilia is just one aspect of it that makes it unacceptable in any civilised, modern country. It is pathetic to see various groups in western societies who refuse to call out islam for the barbaric load of crap that it is. Too many run a bizarre protection racket for islam which is, in endless ways, totally incompatible with modern, civilised life.

Thanks, Uma. islam is a backward, primitive load of evil garbage and pedophilia is only one aspect of the vile religious ideology that all decent people should reject. islam has no redeeming features at all.
Luis Julio Gomez Garcia says
You are absolutly right. It is retrograde, barbaric and inhuman. The powers that be, such as civilized Western governments and internatonal organizations ought to take the initiative of barring all Islamic counttries from joining international organizations if they don’t relent their primitive, barbaric and cruel traditions.
tim gallagher says
That would be a great move, Luis. We have the same view of this barbaric religious ideology, islam. If only far more non-Muslims would see islam for what it is, in the way the Hungarians, the Poles, the Czechs and the Slovakians seem to have done, and shut the primitive ideology out of their countries. Also, as you said, shut the Muslims out of all international organisations. They don’t have anything positive to contribute to modern societies anywhere.
notoislam says
Yes and ALL true! Yes they do not hide their DIRTY LITTLE SECRET ABOUT PEDOPHILIA AND all their other filthy acts against humanity =all TRUE! iSLAM CAME ALONG at a time when barbaric acts were totally acceptable. The word hate IS OUT THERE -HATE HATE
BECAUSE ALL IS AGAINST ANYTHING POSITIVE FOR HUMANITY. tHEY run a small ,petty
filthy system that is definitely no good for the rest of us!
tim gallagher says
I agree, notoislam. There is nothing positive or good that I can find in islam. Not a thing. Just endless hatred for all of us non-Muslims, that is all that islam contains.
somehistory says
Long, long ago, in a couple of cities, there was much immorality going on.
One city was home to a man and his family…his wife and two daughters.
One day, two visitors arrived, and they went to the public square where the resident male found them, advised them of danger and took them home with him. All of the males …young and old…of the city then descended on this man’s home, demanding to have sex with the visitors.
In modern times, the names of those two cities are used to reference a perverted sexual habit and a depraved place.
Later, not too far away, another group of depraved people practiced prostitution and child sacrifice. How many children and babies did they murder? Thousands at least.
Modern archaeology has given proof to the existence of those places and what went on there.
The two cities and their inhabitants were destroyed by fire and the other depraved murderers of children were wiped out.
The scummy perverts doing the same things today, will not go unpunished.
Any person who has the idea that it’s okay to murder a child,…even if they call it *reproductive health*…or rape a child….whether or not they call it marriage and get a *license* for the raping…is a snake, They will be dealt with in the same manner as the people of Sodom, Gomorrah and Canaan.
Hudders. says
Brilliant comment!
The last paragraph is spiritually powerful.
Thank you for posting SH.
somehistory says
All I can say is thank you, Hudders.
Derek Bayliss says
Yes Lot then Lot had sex with his daughters??
somehistory says
Does the Bible say, or even indicate, that what they did was a good thing?
The girls decided that was the *only* way for them to have children; …the Bible does not say God approved of this…and they gave birth to people who became the enemies of Abraham’s line of people, the Israelites. God gave the Israelites instructions as to how they were to treat those people.
You can disagree with my comment on the Bible accounts and what they mean for the perverts of today, but you can’t change what the Bible says or does not say because you disagree with God’s Ways.
Westman says
How is marrying a child to an old man for some gain or family favors not Child Trafficking?
OLD GUY says
IT IS!
Myron J.Poltroonian says
It would seem some need to brush up on their “Begat’s”, both Biblical and otherwise. Seems like a whole lot o’begerrin’ between the disparity age groups allowed to marry (or co-mingle) back in the day was to either forge alliances between ruling families and/or strengthen them, or, as filtered down to even the common folk, to keep the family’s wealth within the family. The same held true for cousins marrying. Whatever served the state’s or the family’s interests was allowed.
Namer says
“there is no minimum age requirement to become married in California”.
Maybe its just a state full of pedophiles. Washington state didnt have a law against Bestiality until about 10 years ago. They kept voting them down which says a lot about the people there.
Bull Herman says
Now review the DemoCrap’s platform. Which includes censorship, gun confiscation, and Christian religious persecution. While inviting every illegal alien they can find.
The fact that Governor Grievous Nuisance would kowtow to Islamists shows his character and that nothings safe and sacred when he’s whoring for votes.
And you can bet the Islamists won’t be disarmed.
